Attention Ford and Lincoln Owners!

A significant recall has just been announced, affecting nearly 14,000 vehicles due to critical brake fluid leaks that could endanger drivers. This alarming notice was issued by Transport Canada and last updated on Thursday.

Which Models Are Affected?

The expanded recall targets specific models: 2017 Ford F-150s, 2017 and 2018 Ford Expeditions, and 2017 and 2018 Lincoln Navigators. The main culprits are those equipped with the 3.5 L Ecoboost engine.

What's the Danger?

The issue lies within the braking system itself. Brake fluid could potentially leak between the master cylinder and booster in these vehicles. This can lead to a reduction in brake effectiveness—think longer stopping distances and an increased risk of accidents!

How Will You Know?

If your vehicle is affected, you might receive an alert directly from the car! A warning chime and a red brake indicator may light up if there's a problem detected.

What Should Affected Owners Do?

Ford is stepping up to inform all affected owners through mail. You'll be instructed to bring your vehicle to a dealership for a thorough inspection and replacement parts if necessary.
